Application iled June 25,

This invention relates to card or picture holders for protecting the cards or pictures from wear and soiling, and also for vdisplaying or exhibiting the same.

More particularly, the invention'relates to card or picture holders of the character disclosed in my copending application, Serial N o. 370,703, filed June 13, 1929.

The card or picture holder of the present j invention, like that ydisclosed in said copending application, is intended to be used in loose leaf binders, and diers from the card holder disclosed in said application in the construction thereof and also themanner in which the cards or pictures are retained or held.

The present holder is deemed an improveing application, and is comparativelyT cheaper toy manufacture, and the cards or VYpictures may be more readily inserted, also it readily lends itself for use in bigger loose leaf binders, since any number of cards or pictures may be held therein. v

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from a con- Y I Y )eachcardor picture '19. These portions 18 i will be engageab'lerespectively with thc-four sideration of the following specification taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view illustrating holders constructed in accordance with the invention, arranged and retained in place in a loose leaf binder which is shown open;

Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the partly folded holder blank, several cards being retained in place;

Figure 3 is an enlarged section taken on the line 3 3 of Figure 1;

Figure 4c is a fragmentary sectional perspective view of the holder;

Figure 5 is a view of the unfolded holder blank.

In the drawings there is shown a conventional form of loose leaf binder 10, includingk the usual retaining split rings 11 at the back fold thereof. Card holders of the present invention lare retained on the rings 11 so as to display or exhibit the cards'or pictures, and to protect and keep them in an orderly manner. i

"18 may be displaced fromfthe plane of the" body 12,' may. be bent or folded upon them- 1930.. seria; NQ. 463,754.

Y rcard holderiofthe present invention is preferablyA formed ofl relatively heavy paper or the like. The holder is constructed from .abl'ank of material ofthe" indicated characl ter,l which `consists of a rectangular bodyk12,` fromthe opposite 'ends of which folds 13 projectrespectively. ,One fold 13 is slitted to n provide a tongue 14 whicliis receivable in an elongated aperture 15 Vdisposed coincidentallyA with thefold line'iof the otherfoldl13, for the 'purpose of retaining, the body 12 folded up- "l on itself. "Thebody 12 and folds Y13 arepro- .vided withhole's ,16 which register and thus Vadapt the holderfor engagement with the,

retaining rings- `11y of the Ybinder 10." The""" body 12 vis ,provided Vwith diagonal intersect- Aing slits' or cutsfl'l?, shown most clearly in ment on the holder disclosed in said copendf K v j taining v,portions 18. .These slits Vorcuts yare Figure*5, which 'present integral -foldable'reprovided atproper points in the body 12 :1c-"'70 c ording to the number of cards or pictures to be retained. Inthe present instance provision is'made for :accommodating four cards worpicturesdesignated 19.v It will beapparvent that, by providing the. intersecting slits "15 orcuts 17, portions are formed for retaining y edges ofthe card or picture.. The portions selves asindicatedfatQO. The folded portions 18 thus retain each 'card'or picture in place adjacent an opening 21 in the bodym, Awhich occurs by reason of the displacement of"` the Vportions 18 from the plane of the body 12.

If desired, in addition to each card or picture 19, the portions 18 may retain a transparent panel, indicated at 22l in the draw-5;. ings to protect the picture. If desired, such transparent panel may be omitted.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that the holder is adapted to display cards or pictures on opposite sides thereof; that diet-595 same is comparatively simple and inexpensive of constructiongvand that cards or pictures may berreadily inserted and be retained in place in the holder, and also be readily re-m moved whenever tlie occasion arises. V"-'-10o What is claimed is:

1. A holder made of a foldable sheet of material, said sheet having portions within the marginal edges thereof which are dis- 5 placed from the plane of the sheet and which are disposed on the same side of the sheet thereby presenting openings in the sheet, said sheet being folded upon itself betweenrows of said openings to present sides with said lo portions disposed therebetween, and said portions being folded upon themselves,v whereby to engage and retain cards and the like, so as to be visible in groups through openings in said sides. .Y p v 2. A holder made of a foldable sheet of material, said sheet havin portions within the marginal edges thereoi which are displaced from the plane of the sheet .and which are disposed on the same side of the sheet thereby presenting openings in ythe meet, said sheet being folded upon itself between rows of said o nings to present sides with said portions isposed therebetween, and said portions being folded upon themselves, whereby to engage and retain picture cards so that when the holder is in place in a loose leaf binder the pictures will be visible through said openings, and means on said holder` or connecting it with retaining means of said binder. p p

3. A holder made of a foldable sheet of inaterial, said sheet havin portions within the V marginal edges thereo which are displaced from the plane of the sheet and which .are .disy posed on the same side of the sheet thereby presenting openings in the sheet, said ysheet being folded Vupon itself between rows of said openings to present sides with .said portions disposed therebetween, and said portions being folded upon themselves, whereby l to engage and retain picture cards `so that 1. when the holder is in lace in a loose leaf binder, the pictures wi l be visible through said openings, and inturned folds on said sides, and said sides and folds having registering holes therein for connecting the holder with retaining rings of said binder.
